love the pose and the compo. another round of sharpening on the eye and the bird will look good. only distracting element is the oof branch entering the birds left side. you may tone down the perch a little also. i think you did real well in some rather harsh light.
Harold mentioned a few little tips there Ovidiu. :) I couldn't agree more. I do think though that you have a wonderful pose and great little subject that is testament of what you are capable of in better light conditions and a little more careful framing. Congrats! :)
I like the close up pose with the direct in your face look...the head angle and eye contact are superb the color rendition is very good, Love the feel on this one...congrats...looking forward to more...:cool:
